In episode 19, Jim 1537 and his wife, Meremysic, discuss the topic of intuition, how we recognize it and how we separate an intuitive feeling from our own emotions. This is one of our most frequently asked questions. As each of us begins to open up and work with the intuitive side of our natures, we find ourselves needing to be able to separate the responses of higher mind from our own feelings and emotions.

In this episode:

What is intuition?

Maximum and aphorisms: cultural acknowledgments of intuition

Insights, warnings, guidance and options

intuition is part of our divine nature

Intuitive flashes

Ego, emotions and our intuition

Confirmation, validation and attachment

Karma and intuition

And much, much more.

As spiritual people, we are told to trust our intuition. But how do our own desires and attachments color our intuitive perceptions? Being able to tell the difference between our own feelings and the intuitive guidance we receive is critical to using this gift to its fullest potential.

In this episode, Jim1537 and his wife, Meremystic, talk about how to make sense of your emotions and how they dramatically impact your spiritual journey.

In this episode:

The human struggle with emotions

The tendency to take our emotions too seriously

The relationship between emotional intensity and reality

The connection between emotions and karma

Viewing our emotions as positive or negative

Separating intuition and emotion

Understanding our emotional tape loops

And much, much, more….

For all of us, to be human means to struggle with emotions. In fact, much of our sense of self-perception and identity is based on our emotions. Examining the interplay between how our emotions and our thoughts tie into our karma and our overall spiritual evolution helps us master those emotions, make better choices and ultimately, foster a perspective of non-attachment.

The fourth podcast episode explores how the very survival mechanisms that we cling to, the ones that we feel are keeping us alive are actually doing the exact opposite.

In this episode:

What are defense mechanisms and what role do they play in our lives?

How our rationalizations and defense mechanisms work together

Why we rationalize our our own behavior

The role of emotional intensity and how it affects our perception

The appropriateness of our defensive reactions

intellectual vs. emotional understanding

It’s complicated as a defensive reaction

How do we make our emotions work for us?

And much, much more….

In spite of what we believe, our defenses often harm us by preventing us from moving forward rather than from being harmed. Our rationalizations cause us to convince ourselves that our own falsehoods and self-delusions are true, while the pop culture phrase of “It’s complicated” serves to give us the across-the-board excuse that the issues we struggle with are outside of our own control. Jim1537 and his wife, Meremystic, tackle these issues head on by sorting through the many layers we all need to work through in order to transform our lives for the better. Ultimately, this episode provides us with the tools we need to navigate our journeys on earth from the core of our spiritual being in order to achieve our divine purpose on earth.
